These Heaven-Sent Hand Cannons Cost $4.5 Million And Are Made Of Meteorite

Legendary firearms manufacturer Cabot Guns has made a pair of .45 caliber Colt 1911’s out of a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite.
Long ago, a large meteorite called the Gibeon burst in the Earth’s atmosphere, showering present day Namibia in Africa with tons of interstellar material. For decades, scientists have used the fragment to study the origins of the universe, but when a 77-pound chunk made its way into the hands of Pennsylvania’s Cabot Guns, the firearms company had something more practical in mind: turn it into a set of fully-functional twin pistols.
